And they blew the trumpets and smashed the jars that were in their hands. 20 Then the three companies blew the trumpets and broke the jars. They held in their left hands the torches, and in their right hands the trumpets to blow. ^cAnd they cried out, “A sword for the Lord and for Gideon!” 21 Every man stood in his place around the camp, ^dand all the army ran. They cried out and fled. 22 ^eWhen they blew the 300 trumpets, ^fthe Lord set ^gevery man’s sword against his comrade and against all the army. And the army fled as far as Beth-shittah toward Zererah, ^{▼▼Some Hebrew manuscripts Zeredah} as far as the border of Abel-meholah, by Tabbath.
